Wasn't Undertale built in RPG Maker?

Yeah, my first thought when I saw the thumbnail was "golden retriever licking itself"

Yeah, they committed to adding most of the things people were using the mods for in the first place. Last I checked, which was a while ago, most of what they committed to has already been added.

This is what happens when people download models off the internet that were made for high quality renders or animations and not a VR game ☠

It's based on an instrumental track originally from the 4th Touhou Project video game. I think they're very popular in Japan, but the important thing about this song is the fan-made music video. It's almost entirely black and white, so it could be played back on any device capable of displaying at least 2 colors. It became a challenge to see what devices you could get the video running on, very similarly to what people do with Doom.

What happened to Paint 3D?

For actual 3D stuff I think it was decent. It was one of the easiest programs to understand for quick VRchat edits.

Stadia's death spiral, according to the Google employee in charge of mopping up after its murder (www.pcgamer.com)

A statement from a Google employee, Dov Zimring, has been released as a part of the FTC vs Microsoft court case (via 9to5Google). Only minorly redacted, the statement gives us a run down of Google's position leading up to Stadia's closure and why, ultimately, Stadia was in a death spiral long before its actual demise....

Wow wait goblinhog wasn't the head mod of 196? Never paid much attention, but with how much everyone talked about them, I had assumed so.

How did the Kinect factor into things in terms of power?

After trying as many suggestions as I could, it seems the one that did the trick was replacing the thermistor entirely. Seems I must have broken it somehow, though the glass bulb and wires were still intact from what I could tell.

How flat should I expect it to get? It's sticking to +/-0.2° of the set temperature at the moment

Hey same I don't know why it doesn't work. I need to use my server's local IP when I connect from inside my house.

Sorry, this is a bad take. It might be annoying but the security 2FA offers is better in every way.

atocci,
@atocci@kbin.social avatar

Right but the point they're making is it's a lot easier for a third party to intercept a code that has to be sent to you than it is for them to get the code from an authenticator app since they're generated on your device. At that point you pretty much need physical access to the phone.

atocci,
@atocci@kbin.social avatar

One is much easier to accomplish than the other and doesn't give the target the same chance to realize something is going on.

atocci,
@atocci@kbin.social avatar

There actually are lots of things it's been used for in addition to stealing 2FA codes. SMS based 2FA is better than no 2FA at all, but it's insecure and not recommended to be used when dedicated authenticators are available instead. The NIST has warned against their use since 2016.

atocci,
@atocci@kbin.social avatar

That's semantics, the same insecurities apply to all telephone based methods. I personally wouldn't want my phone company's customer service to play any role in my online security. Even Microsoft wants people to stop using them.

atocci, (edited )
@atocci@kbin.social avatar

You can, the concern here is with people, not the specifications of SMS. People can be social engineered to give control of your phone number to someone else. It's happened before, it's not a hypothetical, and it's why security experts advise against using phone based methods.

I wonder if this is because vrchat announced they were doing the same thing a couple months ago

When did Unity as a company get so bad? I remember a time when the engine had a poor reputation for things like "looking worse than Unreal" but I feel like the company has been making a lot of terrible moves lately that I never heard anything comparable to back then.

It's very pretty, but I'm looking at the forest screenshots and something about it feels... flat? I think it's the leaves, there's no light going through them. Light looks like it's shining on one side but there's no glow coming through on the other.

atocci,
@atocci@kbin.social avatar

Thank you! I was trying to remember the term for this so I could pull up some good examples. I know Red Dead Redemption 2 has it on foliage and skin. Forza Horizon also has it on foliage and also does it really well on the plastic track in the Hot Wheels DLCs

atocci,

I got a good deal on a Fold 4 and it's been great. It's literally a tablet in your pocket and with multi-window it's about as capable as a PC for most tasks. Having such a large screen and 2-3 apps open at once is great whenever you're trying to get anything done.

Before the Fold though, I also had the Oneplus 7 Pro and I think that phone still looks more modern than anything else I see out there today because of the uninterrupted notch-less display. If they didn't give it up for a hole-punch on the 8 I would have probably stuck with them.

atocci,

Fold it in half. Or use 2 hands unfolded.

Maybe you can find something here I can't, but I looked through the revision history and I don't see anything particularly notable going on with the page other than the island has a kinda funny name.

Thermistor is the only thing that I can think of... Hopefully tightening it works. It doesn't happen unless the print head is in motion, which makes me think that's the problem. Otherwise, the temperature is stable and completes PID tuning without issue.

atocci,
@atocci@kbin.social avatar

Hmm, I might have to order a new replacement and see if that helps then. I had replaced the hot end assembly with the spare that came with the printer a couple weeks ago. I was very careful with the change, but I suppose it's possible I damaged a wire in the process. It's been running smoothly since then though, until today when the temperature started swinging wildly.

atocci,
@atocci@kbin.social avatar

I assume so? The original hot end came with it pre-applied, so I think the spare the printer came with should too, but I haven't checked this one.

atocci,
@atocci@kbin.social avatar

It did actually, this screen shot was taken immediately before it shut down. I'll pick up a few replacements and try swapping it out.

atocci,
@atocci@kbin.social avatar

Looking at how the wires are plugged in, you might be on to something here. The extruder stepper seems to be wired into the same port as the breakout board that the thermistor is connected to. If that is the problem though, any ideas how can I fix it and why it's only showing up now? I've had this printer for maybe 2 years now and I installed klipper on it last month, but this issue only began a few days ago.

atocci,
@atocci@kbin.social avatar

I replaced the hot end assembly a couple weeks ago, but I didn't make any changes to the way things were wired. I plugged it in to the same connectors as before.

atocci,
@atocci@kbin.social avatar

Yeah the exact same, it was the spare that came with the printer. I had messed up the original a little while ago when I changed out the nozzle from a V6 to a MK8 before I knew they were meant for different hot ends. The threading was the same and I thought that meant they were compatible... It had plastic leaking from around the heater block after that and after not using the printer for a bit, I did some research into where I went wrong and how to swap the parts out for the clean spare.

atocci,
@atocci@kbin.social avatar

Yeah that's right, I bought the wrong nozzle and using it messed up my hotend. Replacing the whole hotend at that point was easier than trying to clean the plastic out from all the places it had leaked into.

atocci,
@atocci@kbin.social avatar

It's supposed to be the amount of work a strong horse can perform over one day on average.

atocci,
@atocci@kbin.social avatar

You can't just say "perchance".

atocci,
@atocci@kbin.social avatar

My brother has managed to snap the connecter off multiple cables. No idea how he does it, but I'm inclined to place at least some blame on the cable

Sadly that is a VRchat exclusive feature for now.
